After getting closer, Luo Jianjia realized that it was busy and chaotic here.
The unloading people walked in a hurry, and the merchants and family members who came and went also stood by, frowning, a little impatient. In addition, there are two pergola nearby, specially for people to rest, and people in twos and threes sit and drink tea. There is a stall selling noodles not far away, and there is a man who looks like a merchant eating noodles.
Luo Jianjia originally planned to go over and ask, but when she saw the chaos, she just watched from a distance and didn't go any further.
After looking at it for a long time and looking around, she went back.
On the way back, Luo Jianjia has been thinking about how to make money. She has now thought of two ways, but everything needs to be considered in the long run and inquired clearly.
She stayed out for a long time, and now Boss Chu and the Zhao family have returned from the field.
As soon as she arrived at the door, she heard Aunt Wang's voice.
"... Sister-in-law, it's not that I'm talking about you, you're just too good-natured. Your daughter-in-law has been in trouble since her mother's house, but she goes home every other day. I heard that her mother-in-law plans to find her again. indivual."
The last two words are very lightly bitten.
I just heard a thud, and something fell to the ground.
Then, Aunt Wang's voice came out again: "Brother, you can be steady, it's not me talking nonsense, it's the people in their Luojia Village who said it. They have nose and eyes, and even the Luo family is inquiring about any man. Clearly."
After Zhao shi helped Boss Chu up, he said anxiously: "Impossible, brother Leng's wife's grandfather is also a scholar, how can he do such a thing?"
Aunt Wang retorted: "Why can't you do it? Her grandfather is a student, and her father is a businessman, and her father is not a good person, and she has two younger brothers under her, so she thinks about selling her daughter again, Do you want more gifts from people?"
This objection is justified. When Luo Jinjia got married, he also asked the Chu family for money. Although Boss Chu and the Zhao family were kind, they were also very worried about what Aunt Wang said.
Boss Chu was not in good health, and when he heard this, his face was even more ugly.
Zhao shi didn't have time to look after him, so he quickly gave Boss Chu a good deal, and said: "My son, don't be angry, don't be angry. Our brother is not at home, and we didn't leave her with her, nor did we leave her, her mother's family. It can't be done."
Why can't it be done? They killed brother Leng and died, can't they bring their daughter back
However, seeing that Boss Chu was like this, Aunt Wang swallowed back what he wanted to say. The purpose of her visit today is to remind these two honest cousins to beware of their niece-in-law, not to make people sick.
"Brother, don't be angry, those are rumors after all, maybe they are fake. I just want to tell you about the rumors outside, I'm afraid that you are too good to her and she will be deceived by her, and I will regret it later. It's too late." Aunt Wang asked for help.
Boss Chu also calmed down at this moment, and said, "Thank you brother and sister for reminding me."
Aunt Wang saw that the faces of the two were not very good-looking, and that the goal of the day had been achieved, so she left.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the door was opened, she saw Luo Jianjia standing at the door. Looking at her appearance, she didn't know how much she had just heard.
Although what she said was the truth, when the master heard it, Aunt Wang was still a little embarrassed and her face was embarrassed.
"When did Brother Leng's daughter-in-law come back, why didn't you go in?"
Luo Jianjia's expression did not change, and said, "Hello, auntie, I just met my auntie."
Aunt Wang stared at Luo Jianjia's face for a few moments, and when she saw her expression as usual, she felt relieved. After all, if Luo Jianjia's temperament is true, if he really heard their conversation just now, he would not be as calm as he is now.
"Well, your in-laws have already returned from the fields, and you've been out here for too long." Aunt Wang preempted her.
"What my aunt said, I'll go back right away."
After speaking, Luo Jianjia nodded towards Aunt Wang, pushed the door and went in.
After entering, Luo Jianjia's expression was still calm, as if what just happened had never happened. As for the strange expressions on the faces of Boss Chu and Zhao Shi, she also had the right to assume that she did not see them.
She knew that even though Aunt Wang said those crazy things, Boss Chu and Mrs Zhao would still choose to believe her.
Aunt Wang's heart is not bad, but her mouth does not close the door, and her mouth is broken. In the book, she often quarrels with the original owner, and she also speaks ill of the original owner to Zhao behind her back. Like what I said just now, it must have been said in the book.
If Boss Chu and Mrs Zhao really believed Aunt Wang, the original owner would not have succeeded in defrauding them of their money.
Therefore, she is not worried that Boss Chu and Zhao will change their attitude towards her because of what Aunt Wang just said.
Speaking of Aunt Wang, although Luo Jianjia doesn't like people who talk a lot, she doesn't hate her because of it. After all, Aunt Wang was telling the truth and didn't add fuel to smear her. That's what the Luo family really planned.
It's just that Luo Jianjia is so stupid, she just wants to marry a rich man and enjoy happiness. She thinks that her parents are good to her and save her from the fire of the Chu family, but she doesn't know that her parents' ultimate goal is to rely on her to exchange for high sums of money. Dowry, in order to support the following two sons.
"Father and mother, my daughter-in-law just cleaned the yard and felt bored, so she went out for a walk." Luo Jianjia explained.
She is not a person who likes to ask for credit on weekdays and talks about her credit, but today's situation is special, and she has to ask Boss Chu and Zhao to divert their attention.
Sure enough, Zhao shi immediately looked at the yard, and then looked at the house, and his expression eased a lot. After all, if the daughter-in-law really intends to leave, it is impossible to do this. She hadn't done it on weekdays, so how could she do it before she left.
Boss Chu obviously thought the same way. The two looked at each other and saw the ease in each other's eyes.
"Thank you for your hard work, you have done so much work." Zhao said with a smile.
"It's not hard work, my daughter-in-law doesn't know anything about farming, so she can only do these things." Luo Jianjia explained, and after she finished speaking, she glanced at the kitchen room and said, "Just now, my daughter-in-law boiled a pot of boiling water and returned it to the kitchen. Keep it warm in the pot, and if your parents are thirsty, you can drink some."
These remarks made Zhao Shi and Boss Chu flattered.
Why did their daughter-in-law suddenly change
When Luo Jianjia returned to the house, Mrs. Zhao and Boss Chu went back to the house and muttered.
"What happened to Brother Leng's daughter-in-law today, it's not the same as usual." Zhao Shi said, and her expression changed, "It's not really like what Erniu's daughter-in-law said, right?"
Erniu's daughter-in-law was talking about Chu Erniu's daughter-in-law who lived next door, that is, Aunt Wang.
Boss Chu took a sip of warm water from the bowl in front of him, and said, "How is that possible? She has never worked on weekdays. If she really wants to leave, let alone go back to her parents' house."
Zhao Shi patted his chest, and said with some fear: "You are right, the ancestors of the Luo family were scholars, so this is absolutely impossible."
Here, the two bosses were chatting, while Luo Jianjia was so hungry that he panicked. After a good night's sleep, he calculated the time in his heart, looking forward to the arrival of Shen Shi soon.
Finally, when there was still a quarter of an hour before Shen Shi, she heard the sound of Zhao's walking, opened the window and looked, sure enough, Zhao went to the kitchen room.
Luo Jianjia quickly opened the door and followed.
"Mother, let's cook today, my daughter-in-law." Luo Jianjia said straight to the point.
Zhao Shi was stunned at first, and then rejected her proposal: "No, no, you can rest, I'll do it."
"Mother, my daughter-in-law has been married for a long time, and I haven't cooked for you and my father. It's really not good. Why don't I let my daughter-in-law do it today, okay?"
Seeing the sincerity of Luo Jianjia's words, Zhao shi thought of the conversation with her husband just now and agreed.
"Okay, that mother will set fire for you."
"Thank you ma'am."
Luo Jianjia actually didn't like cooking that much, but the dishes that Zhao's stewed were the same as those cooked in boiling water, and they were tasteless and tasteless. For her belly, and for her next plan, she plans to start cooking.
Although the Chu family is poor, the yard is really big, and there are many vegetables grown in the yard.
There are some common vegetables on the market, and vegetables can be grown almost all year round, so there is no need to buy them outside.
Luo Jianjia already knew what to cook, and when she walked to the vegetable field, she picked some celery and some leeks.
I went back to the well and rinsed it off. After I was done, I went back to the kitchen.
Zhao started to boil the water, while Luo Jianjia processed the celery.
When the water boils, the celery is almost done, put it in the pot and cook for a while, then take it out and put it in cold water.
Afterwards, clear the water in the pot and wash the pot.
Put oil in a pot, when the oil temperature is right, add a few slices of ginger and stir-fry celery in the pot.
During the whole process, Mrs. Zhao was a little sluggish, and asked a few questions at the beginning. After all, the way of cooking is not the same as hers, so she will not say more after that. According to the daughter-in-law's wishes, there should be a big fire when the fire should be big, and a small fire when it should be a small fire.
After tasting one out of the pot, Mr. Zhao couldn't close his mouth in surprise: "Why is it so crispy? The color is bright enough."
She has never liked eating celery very much, but poor families are not so particular about it, so it's fine to not spend any money. She usually boils it casually in the pot, and then puts some salt in it, and it's soft and fluffy. Unexpectedly, it turned out that it was not that the celery was not delicious, but the way she did it was wrong.
Daughter-in-law's unique skills are really amazing.
Luo Jianjia knows how well she cooks. She has been living alone since graduation and cooks a lot on weekdays. She is more particular about what she eats, so she has read a lot of recipes and tried a variety of methods. Although it is not comparable to many chefs, it should be considered good compared to Zhao's cooking.
Seeing Zhao Shi's surprised appearance, Luo Jianjia smiled and said, "Mother-in-law likes to eat it, and my daughter-in-law will cook it for you later. However, my daughter-in-law usually doesn't control the heat well, thanks to my mother's good fire today."
Zhao Shi hurriedly said, "No, no, it's you who made it well."
Luo Jianjia was telling the truth, cooking should pay attention to the heat, she was not sure about this kind of pot, it was indeed Zhao's fire that cooked well.
Next, Luo Jianjia scooped up some noodles, kneaded the noodles, rested the noodles, and made the noodles.
After it's done, spread the mixed leek stuffing on top, and cover the vegetables with a dough.
After pouring a little oil into the pot, Luo Jianjia carefully put the leek box into the pot.
Rice, noodles, grain and oil are expensive at home, but these vegetables cannot be eaten, especially the leeks, which can be cut long ago. Thinking that vegetables don't need money, Luo Jianjia cut a lot, and stuffed a lot of stuffing in the leek box.
She was afraid that she would accidentally break the cake and reveal the filling.
Soon the fragrance came out, and Mr. Zhao smelled the fragrant smell and said, "It's really fragrant..."
Luo Jianjia thought, if the conditions are good, if you can put a few eggs in it, it will be more delicious.
When the pancake was ready, Luo Jianjia put the pancake on the chopping board and cut the pancake from the middle with a knife.
Hearing the crunch, Mr. Zhao knew that the cake must be crispy.
They are located in the south, and most of them eat fried leeks on weekdays. I never thought that leeks and noodles can be eaten together, and they are so delicious. Although she hadn't eaten it yet, but just smelled it, she knew that the food was definitely delicious.
While making the leek box, Luo Jianjia cooked a pot of rice soup on the side.
Luo Jianjia has quick hands and feet, and the pot is quicker, so she quickly finished the meal.
When the food was on the table, Boss Chu also showed a surprised look on his face.
Zhao Shi explained with a smile: "Today's meal is made by Brother Leng's wife and daughter-in-law. Come and try it."
Boss Chu picked up his chopsticks and tasted a mouthful of celery. After eating, he was the same as Zhao, and his face was even more surprised.
"The color is good and the taste is good."
Later, the two ate the leek box again, and they were full of praise.
"It turns out that leeks can still be eaten like this. It's really delicious. It's much better than fried." Zhao Shi said.
After chewing the leek box in his mouth, Boss Chu also said: "Well, I heard that people in the north like to mix leeks and noodles to make them, like dumplings."
"Dumplings? What are those, are they delicious?" Zhao asked curiously.
"I heard it's delicious, but I haven't eaten it before." Boss Chu replied.
Luo Jianjia thought, it turns out that everyone has never eaten dumplings, so they can make some someday.
Boss Chu and Mrs Zhao were used to saving money on weekdays. Even though the food was delicious today, the two of them put down their chopsticks without eating much.
Seeing the unfinished appearance of the two of them, Luo Jianjia felt a little sad. Seeing the two of them like this, she didn't eat much.
Thinking of going outside today, Luo Jianjia asked the two about the pier.
"The pier just opened a few months ago. In the past, everyone went to the county seat. However, our county seat is farther from the prefectural city. It's better to get closer from us... Get off the boat from here, take the car to the next county, and then go from the next door. From the county to the prefecture, it's nearly a day faster than before."
After listening to Zhao's words, Luo Jianjia understood why there were so many people coming and going at the wharf, the surrounding environment was a bit poor, and no one was doing business. It just opened not long ago.
"Your father worked at the dock for more than a month before." Zhao continued.
Luo Jinjia looked at Boss Chu in surprise, and asked the question he wanted to ask most: "How much is the salary in January?"
Chu Laodao: "It's not monthly, it's daily. Pay according to the weight of the goods delivered. Those who have the strength will earn more, and those who have no strength will earn less. The two are not too different, about a dozen or so. Between text and twenty texts.”
Twenty texts! It's quite a lot, enough for her to eat white rice every day and eat enough.
She wants to do more...
She has gone to see it, and many of the men who work are not particularly tall, not much taller than her. Presumably, it should not be a big problem for her to disguise herself as a man.
